The purpose of Celebrate Recovery is to encourage fellowship and to celebrate God’s healing power in our lives as we work our way along the road to recovery. We are changed as we share our experiences, strengths and hopes with one another. In addition, we become willing to accept God’s grace and forgiveness in solving our life’s problems.

By working through the principles, we grow spiritually and we are freed from our hurts, hang-ups and habits. This freedom creates peace, serenity, joy and most importantly, a stronger personal relationship with others and our personal, loving and forgiving Higher Power—Jesus Christ.

In May of 2009, Celebrate Recovery held its first meeting at Angels Healing and Recovery Church/Sunrise Community Church in Austin, TX. The program not only has survived, but has been truly blessed and continues to grow.

One thing that will never change in Celebrate Recovery is the truth that Jesus Christ is the one and only Higher Power!

Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us. Psalm 62:8
